Add a new user for HTTP Auth in EasyEngine setup.
openssl passwd -crypt <plain-text-password>
Above command will print the encrypted password on the console. Copy the encrypted password.
cd /etc/nginx
vim htpasswd-ee
Add following exact line at the end.
<username>:<encrypted-password>
Save the file.
You can commit this change if you want since EasyEngine keeps the nginx directory under version control.
And That’s it ! You’re good to go with following credentials for your HTTP Auth.
username : <username>
password : <plain-text-password>
